We play a billiard game that is on a Wii Sports disk.

Is there any way to move this game to the Wii menu so that we do not have to insert the disk each time?

I don’t know anything about moving Wii stuff, but do know a little something about moving threads from Cafe Society to the Game Room.

No, disc-based games don’t work that way. You have to load the disc every time.

I assume you know you need the disk every time. Do you mean that you want some kind of shortcut so you don’t eject and re-insert the game every time?
